Synopsis
Discover how a city branch builds a thoughtful map of its fiction collection.
This nonfiction catalog presents a classified, annotated dictionary of prose fiction housed at the Wagner Institute Branch. It explains how works are organized, described, and cross‑referenced to help readers find what they want quickly.
The volume explains the system used to group books by Dewey‑based classes, labeling headings like Philosophical, Ethical, Religious, and Sociological, then attaches these headings to both book labels and catalog cards. It also describes how each entry includes a short note on theme, period, and notable characters when relevant. In addition, an index connects historical and legendary figures that appear in the fiction, aiding context and research.- Clear, practical organization: entries are placed under the author’s real name with cross‑references for pseudonyms.
- Descriptive notes: many modern works include a brief statement of theme, period, and purpose.
- Historical context: the catalog adds notes about major historical figures appearing in novels.
- Reader assistance: supplementary headings and a structured index support targeted discovery.
